Taking the dis out of disability

Alerting people to the forthcoming Workforce Disability Equality Standard - which will be launched in early 2019 by NHS England and place a requirement on NHS trusts and providers to assess the extent to which the experiences of their disabled staff differ from the experiences of their non-disabled staff. This standard will be similar to the WRES - which was launched in 2015 - but will have specific elements which staff with disabilities have highlighted as important to them.
